High percentage of callus induction at 97 percent was obtained when seeds of rice (Oryza sativa L.) cv. RD6 were cultured on modified N6 medium supplemented with 3 percent (w/v) sucrose, 22.5 micro M 2,4-D and 0.8 percent agar under light condition. The suitable regeneration medium was N6 medium supplemented with 3 percent (w/v) sucrose, 2.5 micro M IAA, 18 micro M BA and 0.8 percent agar. A test had been performed to determine the effect of antibiotics on the regeneration of rice vc. RD6. It was found that kanamycin concentration up to 150 mg/l and hygromycin concentration at 10 mg/l were effective for selection of transformants. Cefotaxime and carbenicillin concentration up to 250 mg/l had the highest phytotoxicity to plant regeneration. Agrobacterium-mediated gene transfer protocols for rice cv. RD6 were performed using A. tumefaciens strain LBA4404, which harbored the plasmid pBI121 containing genes for beta-glucuronidase (GUS) and kanamycin resistance (nptII), and strain EHA105, which harbored plasmid pCAMBIA1301 containing genes for beta-glucuronidase (GUS) and hygromycin resistance (hptII). GUS activities were found in rice calli after co-cultivation. A number of morphologically normal fertile transgenic rice plants were obtained. Stable integration, expression and inheritance of transgenes were demonstrated by molecular and genetic analysis of transgenic plants in T sub(0) and T sub(1) generation. Mendelian segregation was observed in T sub(1) progeny.
